After the Little Rock Nine

When Little Rock, Arkansas schools reopened in 1959, a year after the Little Rock Nine entered Central High School, Sybil Hampton enrolled at Central High School as a 10th grader. Dr. Sybil Hampton now recalls her experience and her hope for current students.

“I would love to see every child in our community be in a school setting with teachers and other adults who believe that they are important, that they are the seed corn, that no matter where they are they can achieve a personal best. That education is the cornerstone for the lives a young people.”
